The main focus lies on examining "Defi Now!" in respect to its usability based on the dialogue principles referring to the seven software ergonomic principles due to the ISO 9241-110 standard. These are known as suitability for learning, controllability, error tolerance, self-descriptiveness, conformity with user expectations, suitability for the task, and suitability for individualization.
